Visitors

While the primary function of the University Library is to support the instructional and research needs of the UConn faculty, students and staff, we also welcome visitors to use our resources and facilities.

*ASC services and policies may differ from those below. Please visit their site directly

Computer Access

There are a limited number of computers available to visitors (those without a University issued NetID) at each campus library. Ask at a service desk for locations. Visitors can also use their own devices and connect to the wireless guest network.
At the Babbidge Library, public computers (not requiring a NetID for login) can be found on:
Level 4: 2 in lobby
Level 3: 2 in lobby
Level 2: 2 in lobby
Plaza: 6 on wall across from the iDesk; 18 iMacs in Bookworms Café
Level B: 1 outside of Leisure Reading Room

Borrowing / Applying for a Library Card

All visitors are welcome to use library materials in-house. Connecticut residents, members of the UConn Alumni Association, registered students and faculty of the CT State University System or the CT Community Technical College systems, and spouses or domestic partners of UConn faculty or staff can apply for a Community Borrowers card which allows users to borrow up to 25 books at a time. For more information, including how to apply, see https://lib.uconn.edu/services/borrowing/community-borrower-program/

Online Resources

Members of the public are welcome to use any of our resources at any UConn campus library. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own laptop or device and connect to UConn’s guest network http://wireless.uconn.edu/uconn-guest/ as the availability of public computers is limited. Due to licensing restrictions, there is no off-campus online access to our subscription journals and databases for community members or the general public.

Printing / Copying / Scanning

Scanning is available as a free service at all campus libraries. Scans can be sent as an email or saved to a USB drive.

The Library does not have printing/copying services for visitors without a UConn ID/Husky One Card. Save all work to a USB drive or email as an attachment.
